Four Hope College student-athletes have been selected to the 2023 Academic All-District® Men's At-Large Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators: Seth Almquist from men's golf, and Blaine Hynde, Jake Maibuecher and Michael Mann from men's lacrosse.

The Academic All- America® recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in the athletic realm and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. First-, second and third-team Academic All- America® honorees will be announced on Wednesday, June 21.

The Academic All-District® honor is a first for Almquist, Hynde, Maibeucher and Mann.

Almquist (Minneapolis, Minnesota / Wayzata HS) majored in environmental geochemistry and excelled on the golf course. The recent graduate helped the Flying Dutchmen finish 22nd at the NCAA Championships for the second consecutive season and win both the MIAA regular-season and tournament titles.

Hynde (Muskegon, Michigan / Reeths-Puffer) majored in mechanical engineering while playing midfield in all 19 games for the Flying Dutchmen.
